delved, as no mother author has done,

, things, and brought , -up the 'hidden
truths of municipal, state and govern-
ment affairs, That they have come up
v reeking wltTi allme and mud la no fault
, of the author, and credit .should be ao
corde,d him, that he has thus courage'
ously; tried to clear the stream.
It is peculiarly, apropos that at -this
time more should be known regarding
our courts, particularly the court of
last resort the supreme court - ef . the
united Btates--the branch of the gov
eminent, whose actions admit or no
question; . j . .,' '

ments of human activity jars subject, or
, should be,,., to, scrutiny and investiga
tion, and the series of. facts discovered
become a definite .part of. knowledge to
be explored assembled and disseminated.
"Quite true," that-while research has
hitherto, penetrated into- all other
branches of historical development, the
courts have been singularly exempt,
"That they have been Immune from
searching inquiry; that around them has
been created, a myth of fiction of su
permundane "superiority, is no reason
why the case should continue , so. On
the contrary, the more their history and
course have been shrouded in tradition
and mystery, the more, pressing Is the
necessity for learning and describing
the "actual , facts. ; Only those who for
sentimental or ulterior purposes would
seek To disseminata fiction rather than
facta can object to' a serious inquiry In
to ; any Institution and the collocation
of verified faefs. Such ah objection at
once discredits and ..disposes of Itself
in; lUi , obvious" attack upon an attempt
to .bring put, the truth and in Its aim
to suppress th facts from becoming

CThe long roll of facts herein set forth

There are eight essays, or papers, in
the ' collection, Each one is an appre
ciation, from a different viewpoint, of
the. life,1 character1; and works of John
Burroughs. ..' ...
One 1 of tha . most interesting articles
Is on "Burroughs and Walt . Whitman."
It casts a beautiful light on the- char
acter of each in Its relation to the other,
saying: "John Burroughs has undoubted
ly4n terpreted'Whitman- better than y
others critic, and. unquestionably -owes
Wliitman' more than any one else. He
has 'found ln the- poet what so many
others have jfound in Burroughs." Whit
man does not 'to" me suggest'the wild
and unkempt, as- he- seems to do to
many; he suggests the cosmic and the
elemental.' - He cherishes the hope
that . he. had put into his .'Leaves' some
of the tonic and fortifying qualities of
nature m her more errand and primitive
aspects." - "From Whitman I - am con
strained to believe," says- Mr. De Loach,
"Burroughs has drawn much of hfc
primitive strength as a writer." ' .
The author makes frequent quotations
from ) John- Burroughs' poems in - illus
tration of style or to show some strong
reeling or expression. As a whole it is
a charming, in ye-, volume and contains
a number of interesting portraits and
illustrations, ; Richard O. Badger. Price
"The Turnstile," by A. E. W. Mason
Doubtless some of the incidents of A.
E. W. Mason's parliamentary career' are
reflected in. his aew novel, 'The Turn
stile." Even an American reader feels
that certain parliamentary leaders of
recent years have contributed to the
making of these fictitious . leaders.
Probably some of the personal experi
ences of Mr. Mason' in making his can
vass, and his own feelings in first
addressing -the house of commons . are
reproduced in the vivid narrative of
Harry Rames' own political career. Mr.
Mason was elected a member of parlia--ment
in 1908, after writing several
novels. The English' Bookman of Lon
don says of his career there: "He sig
nalized his advent In the house of com
mons with a notable maiden speech,
proved himself shrewd and eloquent
In debate, 'and if he had not escaped we
might in due season have been the
richer by a saffacions and sympathetic
cabinet minister and one brlllantnov
ellst the poorer. -But fortunately the
fascinations of the nioiher;bf parlia-
mentis ivere hot so potent as the charms
of that muse who presides over the
doings of all good novelists, and at
tha last general election Mr. Mason
was not persuaded to offer himself as
a candidate again."
In Rames, hero of 'The Turnstile"
who falls in love with Cynthia Daven
try, idealist and heiress, ' he pictures
a forceful, calculating man somewhat
of an adventurer, who leads an expedi
tion, to the South Pole tag:alna repata
tlon which will enable him to leave
the navy for politics. It Is a convinc
ing romance of a strong, self-willed,
far-sighted "man-on-the-make" and a
lovely woman of insight and ideals his
fifth novel to be published in this
country- His last was "At the Villa
Rose," a detective story; before that
"Running Water." "The Broken Road,"
and 'The Four Feathers." Ha had
abandoned the stage for writing. One
of the best amateur actors In Oxford
in his day, he joined a company after
graduation, toured the provinces, and
even played In London as one ef the
soldiers In Shaw's "Arms and the Man."
He took to writing in '95 and has suc
ceeded both with the drama and with
the novel.
"Government by Afl the TeoDle.", bv
Delos F Wilcox. This is a timely pub
lication and is further described by sub
irtra rne initiative and Referendum,
and . the Hecau as Instruments of De
mocracy.
- "An irrepressible conflict of political
Ideas Is going on in the -United States
today," says Mr. Wilcox. "The Re
publicans cannot compose their differ
enccs, neither can the Democrats theirs.
The spilt between the pluto
cratic and progressive Demo
crats and between tbe standpat and
the progressive" Republicans yawns
deeper and more unbridgeable than 'the
ancient fissure between mere Democrats
and mere Republicans. The earth has
been quaking of late and new cracks
are appearing on the . surface. A re
alignment of political parties Is pres
ently inevitable. The quarrel Is about
the nature of government. Is It a
private Industry or a public enter
prise? S
All agree that government Is of the
people. Indeed most of the disputants
assert that It Is for the peoDle. but
what Is government by the people?
His book is divided into five parts
the first being Introductory and taking
up the conditions that invite a partial
revival of pure democracy in the present
age. The other four consider respect
ively the Initiative, the Referendum.
and the Recall and Majority Rule (the
Initiative, referedum and recall com
blned).
Under the Initiative he gives six ob
jections against It and four arguments
in favor of It; under the Referendum
two objections and three arguments in
ravor; under the Recall three ob
jections and two arguments In favor
and under the Majority Rule six general
objections and five general arguments
in favor. The Macmlllian Co.

Rear Admiral Charles D. Slgsbee, U.
S. N.i has written for the July Century
or "Safety at Sea," in the light of the
Tltania. disaster,. In which he calls at
tention to the sometimes forgotten fact
that the natural peril; of the sea Is
everlasting.
"It comes in - many forms and far,
more frequently than passengers con
ceive, t The 1 details and scope of
special Judgment, even 'speculative
Judgment.' that must be exercised to
meet recurring perils successfully! are
probably not imagined by the average
passenger, else many nervous persons
would not go to sea at all.' On the
other hand, : it may be" said that,
through long experience, a seaman by
the time he reaches command afloat
has becomeery. resourceful. In fact,
when seemingly unconcerned in view of
the passengers, his mind, may be work
ing in many channels for their safety."
The daily newspaper should hold a
higher place in the esteem of the Amer
lean public, says Professor - David - S,
Muzzy of the Ethical Culture school
Dr. Muzzy's contention ts that, properly
regulated, tha newspaper has a histori
cal value not only -for future genera
tions, but for contemporary readers,
and he advocates the teaching of his
tory to rome extent from the dally
papers. His own "American History,"
puDiisned last year by Glnn & Co., em
bodies his Ideas. His treatment ot the
period since the Civil war is propor
tionally fuller than" Is usual In a text
book. A book about cemeteries has Just been
issued from the Donohue press- of Chi
cago. Its author ts Howard Eviarts
Weed, landscape'1 architect, formerly' of
Chloago and now a resident of Port
land. Mr. Weed has written from a life
time's experience and study, entering a
field hitherto neglected. In successive
chapter he shows the possibilities of
transforming .moss grown, tangled bury
ing grounds into places of order and
artlstio merit His Introductory descrlp-
lion of the ancient custom that gave
preference to interment near a church
or like sacred spot and evolved Into the
church yard renowned In Gray's Elegy
and still to be seen on rural bill tops,
has much interest. Suggestions as to
order and arrangement, choice of trees
and shrubs and advising modesty in
monuments, makes the work distinctive

uable. NEW BOOKS FOR

' (By the International News Seryic.)
, Paris, July 6. r French - courts and
judges are sometimes paradoxical., Mar
riages are diminishing -in number, yet
the courts dmot encourage matrimonial
agents. Matchmaking is alt very- Well
and commendable, but to, make a busi
ness out of matchmaking does not meet
with their approval. If tha agent Ob
tains payment in advance he is safe. "If
after marriage the bridegroom.' declines
to pay a ten that he had explicitly or
vaguely promised. It is auita , anothef
matter., Has, a matrimonial , agent the
right, or has he not, to appeal to the law
for obtaining payment Tof a matrimonial
commission? This Is a question which
has frequently been mooted Jn, French
law courts. In some places the trans
action is considered as lawful and. bind
ing, and : in others it Is condemned as
being against public policy. .
A court at Lyons recently decided that
a contract by which a matrimonial agent
was to be entitled to collect a certain
percentage of the dowry of the brldi
was valid, and payment was ordered
Immediately afterwards a Paris court
decided exactly the contrary, holding
that such a contract was immoral, and
therefore could not be enforced by law.
A1 third decision has now been' given
Which, hits the, happy medium; A con
tract stipulated for commission and ex
penses. The court allowed the expenses,
if there had been. any, but decided that
the .claim for a - stipulated commission
was illegal. People may recover expenses
for -matchmaking, but can claim, no
commission.

her ' f ejiow creaturtc ; only. She a
very fond of . animals, , too, and to her
bouse near the Baeujon hospital w

about 160 birds of different kinds, s.t
well, as half a: dozen rabbits and seven

The good oil lady could no bear the

been tending them.- providing htm with

Thus aha directed that, besides the
enjoyment of an annuity of x $500 he
should receive every year $240 for the
keep of tha birds, $19 a month for that
of each of th -seven horses, and J2- a
month for his attention to the comfort
of a parrot which was a great pet.
) Everything went on , smoothly until
lately, when the man who has been thus
favored took legal action against the
gentleman to whom tha general use of
all. these animals has been bequeathed
by -Mdlle.' Grandjean. He asks . that
this gentleman may be deprived of this
enjoyment on the plea that he prevents
him from doing his work as It ought
to be done. - What the general use of
tha animals' may consist - of does t not
